Extra 42

Bai Lin pondered for a moment and said, "Tell me, imagine what life would be like if you were married to this person in the future."

Qin Anning was stunned. She seemed to have said something like that before. She looked at Bai Lin in confusion, "What does that have to do with anything?"

"Of course, imagine everything that might happen after marriage. If you can't bear it, then naturally you'll leave beforehand."

Qin Anning fell into deep thought.

Was this the reason Fu Yin made this decision?

Bai Lin looked down at her, opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Everyone has their own ambitions, and everyone's thoughts are different. You don't need to guess about these things."

Qin Anning nodded, forcing a smile, "I know, I was just asking casually."

After saying that, she looked at Bai Lin and said, "Cousin, thank you for tonight."

"You drank so much tonight, you should go home and rest early."

Qin Anning glanced at the dark street ahead, seemingly lost in thought, and asked, "Cousin, have you finished with your business here? Is there anything else?"

"Nothing's wrong, what's wrong?"

"If you're free, let's go have some fun."

Where to go for fun?

Qin Anning thought for a moment, "Playing with a purpose is no fun. I've thought of something more interesting."

Bai Lin smiled and said, "Tell me about it."

Qin Anning took out her phone and searched for a while, then smiled at Bai Lin and pulled him to the side of the road to hail a taxi.

Bai Lin looked puzzled, but didn't say anything.

The taxi's destination was a 24-hour library. After getting out of the car, Qin Anning led him to the library.

I spent two hundred yuan to get a card, and then I went to the geographical area.

"This whole row is full of maps and books. Which row are you referring to?"

Bai Lin was somewhat surprised, but after a moment's thought, he said, "The fourth row, I guess."

Qin Anning nodded, "Then the sixth book in the fourth row."

After saying that, she turned around and found the book, which was a hand-drawn map book. Qin Anning was a little surprised, "It's about Xia City."

Qin Anning looked at Bai Lin, "Aren't you busy?"

"Once things are settled here, everything should be fine. So, are you planning to go here?"

"Yes, it is fate that has brought us here, so let us go with the flow."

Bai Lin smiled slightly, "This looks interesting. Let's go out first."

"good."

I registered the book and then borrowed it.

The two went outside, and Qin Anning handed the book to Bai Lin, saying, "You decide our first destination. We'll go wherever you turn to."

Bai Lin accepted the book without hesitation and opened it casually.

Qin Anning leaned over for a look. It was a small county town she had never heard of before, but since they had already made the agreement, she couldn't go back on her word.

You might find a pleasant surprise in a place you've never been before.

Those tourist attractions are actually crowded, and I've already been to all the places I wanted to go, so they're not very interesting.

"Okay, then we'll head to Xia City once you've finished your business here."

"good."

Qin Anning went for a walk and her mood improved a lot. The effects of the alcohol had worn off, and she was now feeling a little sleepy.

The two returned to the hotel together, and Bai Lin went to the room next door.

Qin Anning went in to wash up as well, and suddenly noticed the coat in the trash can. Something seemed to flash through her mind.

It seems she vomited on Bai Lin's clothes?

Qin Anning sighed, and couldn't help but think of what Bai Lin had said. How could someone so considerate and understanding not be liked?

After thinking it over, the only explanation is that the girl has poor taste.

The next morning, Qin Anning overslept and missed Xu Meng's wedding, but fortunately, she didn't miss the ceremony itself.

She woke Qin Man up, and Qin Man came out rubbing her head, looking like she hadn't woken up yet.

"Are you still sleeping? The wedding is about to start. Hurry up and wash up."

Qin Man said weakly, "Oh, you go ahead, I'm not going. I'm so sleepy. That's your classmate, not mine. It's fine if I don't go."

"You..." Before Qin Anning could finish speaking, Qin Man had already closed the door.

Qin Anning had no choice but to go by herself.

As she passed Bai Lin's room, she rang the doorbell, but there was no response from inside.

She took out her phone and saw that Bai Lin had sent her a message; he had already left the hotel.

Qin Anning had no choice but to take a taxi to the wedding. When she arrived at the hotel and found their banquet hall, it was already full of people.

The wedding has begun, and Xu Meng and her husband are exchanging rings on the stage.

Qin Anning glanced at it and then quickly found an empty seat to sit down.

With so many people around, she felt like it didn't really matter whether she came or not.

That makes sense, though. She has her own life, with family and friends; she's just a roommate.

Qin Anning shook her head, turned to look at the newlyweds on the stage, her gaze falling on their happy smiles, and a strange tightness gripped her heart.

After the wedding ended, the food and drinks were served one after another, and she ate her meal by herself with her head down.

Xu Meng was busy going back to change her clothes and toasting people; there were too many people for her to keep an eye on.

When I came over to offer a toast, I said a few words to her and told her to eat more.

Qin Anning smiled and agreed.

When most of the people who had eaten at the banquet had left, Xu Meng was free, so Qin Anning found her alone and gave her a red envelope.

When Xu Meng saw the red envelope, she smiled apologetically. "An Ning, I'm sorry. I've been too busy today and haven't been a good host. I'll take you out to play after I'm done with my work. You can stay for a couple more days."

"Okay." Qin Anning placed the red envelope in her hand. "I'll be staying for two more days. You can keep this red envelope for now. Go eat quickly. I'll head back to the hotel now."

"Okay, I'll come find you later."

Xu Meng accepted the red envelope. It was really inappropriate to be polite in this kind of occasion. If so many people were to be polite, she wouldn't be able to eat today.

Qin Anning didn't disturb their meal any longer and turned to leave the hotel.

Xu Meng held the red envelope and felt that its thickness was unusual. She opened it and was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.

Her husband came to visit her for dinner and, seeing the red envelope in her hand, asked in surprise, "Who gave you so much?"

All of them are brand new banknotes, and judging by the thickness, they amount to at least 20,000.

Twenty thousand is a lot. Their combined monthly salary is less than twenty thousand, not to mention the gifts from relatives. Even giving five hundred yuan is for very close relatives.

The average person who comes to eat at the banquet is one or two hundred.

Xu Meng felt even more guilty. She put the red envelope away and sighed, "It's from one of my college roommates."

"Your friend seems like a pretty good person."

Xu Meng smiled and pulled him back to eat.

After Qin Anning came out, she went back to the hotel to sleep. She had gone to bed late the night before and was very tired.

If I had known she wouldn't have much of a role, I would have been better off sleeping in a hotel like Qin Man.

I lay down on the bed and fell asleep, and when I woke up it was already dark.

Someone was ringing the doorbell outside. Qin Anning thought it was Xu Meng, but then she realized that Xu Meng didn't seem to know which hotel she was staying at.

She opened the door, and sure enough, Bai Lin was standing outside.
